    Tripod vs. the dragon

    Hello Enworld! I just wanted to pass this along to everyone. Perhaps someone here in Enworld will be lucky enough to be able to catch this show. It's the first comedic opera about D&D, and it's one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. Not only are these guys talented writers, performers and...

    OGL d20 modern

    Hello again! During the summer I queryed if making a game based off of d20 Modern was viable, meaning players of my game would need that book. My decision was to instead use the d20 Modern SRD and change it, to suit my PA game. So my plan is to use the OGL to reprint a lot of the d20 SRD using...

    Should I release a game using d20 Modern?

    Hello world of EN! For quite a few years I've been working on a PA game using the d20 Modern ruleset, in hopes of using the d20 modern SRD. Well, then 4e was announced, and I got discouraged about the fate of that system. Now, a year and a half later, I have revisited the 'book' I wrote and...

    Timing of actions

    Hello! I have a couple questions that arose in last nights game. First, can you use a minor action in the middle of a move action. Meaning move 2, use minor action, move 4, use standard action. I think not, but thought I'd ask the wise anyway. The other question is a little more tricky. Say a...

    Cleric multiclass pros and cons

    Hello Enworlders, I'm going back and forth trying to decide what multiclass to take for my STR based lv4 cleric. Basically an 18 str, 16 wis build, Spiked chain, human. The Warlord seems like an excellent choice, powers like Hammer and Anvil work nicely with Righteous Brand for instance, but...

    Thoughts on STR cleric

    The recent post about paladins got me thinking. How viable is a STR focused cleric. I made a 1st level Human of Kord, with an 8 CHA. He appears viable, as CHA only seems important to a WIS cleric. Any holes in this concept? On a side note, this whole fact that each class has a couple major...

    Hammer Implement

    I thought I would call on the vast knowledge and imagination that is Enworld.:) I'm hoping for a few cool ideas for a player of mine, so anything you want to add is much appreciated. He's a dwarf wizard, if ya haven't guessed, and would like to use a warhammer as an implement. I think its a cool...

    Effects happen regardless of a successful hit?

    I guess something good did come out of the CoD/minion thread, for me at least. I've played 3 sesions so far, and it never dawned on me that Effects occur whether the attack hits or misses. This is true, no? I shafted the parties Warlock, as the effect from his daily didn't happen during the last...

    D&D 4E STR 'to-hit' bonus departing in 4e?

    Since 4e is striving to release some sacred cows, I'm thinking it's time to be rid of the 'STR adds a to-hit bonus' and simply allow it to only affect damage. I guess that would leave two options, either DEX would modify the attack roll or the attack roll will only be modified by skill...

    The minuses of pluses, the pluses of minuses.

    I had a thought after seeing the elf write up the other day... something didn't seem right. Then it hit me. All ability bonus and no penalty. That's different, but is it good? I'm thinking not. First, it kinda strikes me as a 'grab' at a typical gamers desire to have a powerful character. Yay...

    It brings Tiers to my eyes

    As many of you already know, a major problem with 3e is the 'math' doesn't work once you get somewhere around 12-15th level (depending on the campaign). The d20 system fails to accommodate high pluses, the d20 roll becomes almost irrelevant etc. So maybe I'm reading to much into it, or my...

    D&D 4E d20 Modern 4e

    I'm surprised there's no threads on this yet, but here goes. Any thoughts or news on if d20 modern will be updated with the release of 4e?

    Crafting weapons questions.....

    To all ye crafty guru's. I've got a couple questions with crafting magic items. The first, I know has been covered, but I want to make sure before I start playing this PC. The CL listed in the items description is NOT the caster level to make the item, correct? That would be listed later, after...

    Shatter spell vs. armor

    Question about the Shatter spell. What are the limitations here? Can you shatter a suit of armor someone is wearing? The pertinant info of the spell: Alternatively, you can target shatter against a single solid object, regardless of composition, weighing up to 10 pounds per caster level. Does it...

    size attack modifiers

    Should the size penalty to attack apply when you fire a 'small' weapon from a big vehicle? Now, I can see the penalty if you're using a Gargantuan cannon on a Medium opponent, but should the penalty apply if you're firing a light machinegun from a Colossal mecha on a Medium opponent? Wouldn't...

    Attacks of Vulnerability (firearms)

    Attacks of Vulnerability In an attempt to make firearms 'quicker and hence, deadlier' I have come up with a new form of AoO. I haven't play tested it yet, but I thought I would post it here and see if it can be ripped apart before I do. I realize there are some who believe that firearms are...

    Attacks of Vulnerability

    In an attempt to make firearms 'quicker and hence, deadlier' I have come up with a new form of AoO. I haven't play tested it yet, but I thought I would post it here and see if it can be ripped apart before I do :D I realize there are some who believe that firearms are fine in d20 Modern as...

    sandstorm OGL

    Does anyone know if I can legally use the rules in Sandstorm for a PA game I plan to publish, or would I have to make my own set of desert rules?

    Rolling a d20 for Defense

    I have been contemplating initiating the 'roll your defense' mechanic into my PA game. Meaning, instead of 'taking 10' on your defense all the time, you roll a d20 and add your defense bonus. Has anyone tried this? Does it screw anything up? I personaly think players would find the fact that...

    Massive Damage effects

    I like the massive damage rules and think they are a nice attempt to make combat a little less predictable. However, in play I have found them wanting. Not that they don't do their job, but they just don't bring hit points out of thier staple of comfort. There's no degree of damage, you're...
